Initial meeting with the client at the property is free. This is an initial opportunity to discuss the project in detail and take the brief. In the first meet we learn about the client's personality, their style and their individual lifestyle, tastes and aspirations - so that the finished project is a true reflection of them. It more helpful if client fills out questionnaire either online or on paper. We'd also discuss outline budgets and time scale so that the project can progress smoothly. This meeting is followed up with a written proposal to the client.

Certainly. Explaining the designer what you can afford will help you determine the project budget.
First approximate estimate is provided after the conceptual design is finalized and second
estimate we provide after the detailed designs and interior elements are finalized.
Using this approach, all the items of work are clearly specified, quantified and budgeted. Prior to
the execution of the project, we provide the client a final cost estimate. In a scenario, where there
is a limited budget, we can always work backwards and create the best possible design solution
within the given cost. We are always sensitive to our clients' budgets.
